Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. xi, [1], 608 pages. Footnotes. Illustrations. Notes. Bibliography. Index. Inscribed by the author (Culver) on the half-title page. The inscription reads For Marilyn--Best from her :"workout" buddy -- John Culver. This biography of Franklin D. Roosevelt' s first vice president, Henry Agard Wallace (1888-1965), draws extensively from personal letters and journals, family papers, and archival documents. Before his vice presidency, Wallace served as secretary of agriculture. He remained in politics after Roosevelt's death, and was Truman's secretary of commerce. He ran for president. Wallace was also responsible for innovations in agricultural genetics, and in 1952 wrote a book entitled Why I Was Wrong. Culver, former US senator and representative, and journalist Hyde note the paradox that Wallace (1885-1965) was the son of prominent midwestern Republicans but became the emblematic leftist politician of his time. The great politician, agriculturalist, economist, author, and businessmanloved and reviled, and finally now revealed. The great politician, agriculturalist, economist, author, and businessmanloved and reviled, and finally now revealed. The first full biography of Henry A. Wallace, a visionary intellectual and one of this century's most important and controversial figures. Henry Agard Wallace was a geneticist of international renown, a prolific author, a groundbreaking economist, and a businessman whose company paved the way for a worldwide agricultural revolution. He also held two cabinet posts, served four tumultuous years as America's wartime vice president under FDR, and waged a quixotic campaign for president in 1948. Wallace was a figure of Sphinx-like paradox: a shy man, uncomfortable in the world of politics, who only narrowly missed becoming president of the United States; the scion of prominent Midwestern Republicans and the philosophical voice of New Deal liberalism; loved by millions as the Prophet of the Common Man, and reviled by millions more as a dangerous, misguided radical. John C. Culver and John Hyde have combed through thousands of document pages and family papers, from Wallace's letters and diaries to previously unavailable files sealed within the archives of the Soviet Union. Here is the remarkable story of an authentic American dreamer. A Washington Post Best Book of the Year. First Edition [stated]. Second Printing [stated per printing line].
